  I feel as though 3 stars is an accurate rating for the experience my husband and I had here. We came at 4pm and there was no one in the restaurant except for another couple on the outside patio. Thinking they weren't open for dinner since we received no greeting walking in or upstairs, I asked the bartender and we ended up sitting outside on the patio. She came over and greeted us and seemed upbeat and friendly. However, it all changed as soon as we said we weren't ordering any alcohol (because I'm 20weeks pregnant). We got a soda and water. The soda she brought my husband was not carbonated. Which she should have known since it looked like ginger ale and not cola. We had to get another one (and she made a weird look towards us when we pointed it out). Made us feel weird. We ordered an appetizer and two dinner entrees. It took extremely long to get the appetizer, and when she said our food would be up shortly, I had to make sure she knew we wanted the appetizer first because it shouldn't take so long to get an appetizer. When we got the appetizer it was cold. Was obviously sitting in the window awhile. Throughout our meal, we had to go find her twice and ask for refills on our sodas because she stopped coming around. We were noticing how observant and friendly she was to the other couple which was obviously because they were drinking but not us...
  They do have a good atmosphere, view, and overall decent food. Service is a big deal to me so I took off two stars and especially with no one in there, I expected a lot better. I can tell by reading the other reviews that I'll probably get a nasty response by the owner for leaving anything less than 5 stars, but I am just being honest about my experience...hopefully anyone else who goes there has a better one.

  Like a true small town Irish pub. We stopped in for a proper pint and were not disappointed. They use nitrogen for bubbles, hit the harp with the stream from the tap, let it sit 119 seconds, top it off and put a work of art in front of you. We added a side of potato skins that were fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

  We spent our first ever Thanksgiving away from home and family, and chose our favorite city to spend the Holiday in. The one thing I neglected to do was book reservations for Thanksgiving dinner, and I had to kind of scramble to find a place to eat last minute. We always stop by Kevin Barry's when we are in town for great Reuben's, great beer and a fast and friendly staff, and when we popped in on Thanksgiving Eve we were so pleased to discover that they were open for the Holiday and serving the traditional turkey meal with all the fixins. We made reservations so there was no wait, and from that point on we were really shown white glove treatment by the staff (I even spoke briefly with the owner and one of the chefs). We were shocked at how good the dinner was. The turkey was moist and tasty, the stuffing was incredible, the yeast rolls were to die for, and my girlfriend said the yams and the pecan pie were the best she had ever had. We really expected this to be kind of a throwaway meal, just something we could check off a list so we could say we had a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, and we could not have been more wrong. In fact, this may have been the best overall turkey day meal either of us have ever had. Kudos to the owner, the chefs and all the staff!
